Default Electric water pumps

Is there anyone running them? Are they worth the money? What brand is the best?

They won't match to the truck drive accessories. IMO they are worth it. Meziere WP319S - Street Style Electric Water Pump is what most people use for F-bodies and vettes.

+1, not reliable enough for a daily driven vehicle, best used on race cars/trucks and weekend warriors

I talked with Gary @ Mezieres, he says that it would need all the f-body or vette accessories to work. Im not going through that much trouble for +10hp. Ill just get e-fan setup and that will be enough. Its not my daily driver, in fact it doesnt drive at all other than me crazy cuz its broke in my garage!

Ive also seen a meziere fail. For the little bit of gain i dont think there worth the headache specially for a daily driver. IMO
